I have things partially working with the DK2 on Ubuntu 14.10 using nvidia 346 drivers, the display shows in the nvidia-settings panel and seems to be reporting it's details ok but something a little odd occurs. On OS start up the oculus display shows an extended desktop (currently set to shared x screen 0 with oculus as secondary display), the blue led shows as solid for about 20 or so seconds, then it flashes amber-blue for a bit, the timing of which changes a little, slows, then stays solid amber (display is now off).
It seems indicative of some display mode failing or possibly a frequency/resolution being sent to the oculus that it doesn't like using but I'm not sure, either way the display won't go back on until I restart the machine.
Thought I'd check if this is a known thing with anyone before I dig further, has anyone seen this?
I'm also the person above (having trouble getting an account deleted so that I have one to post from at work).
Plugged it back into a win machine and the hardware is fine, it's just not playing ball in Ubuntu.
I'm going to rebuild the box with 14.04, I am assuming at the moment that the comment in another post about supporting 12.04 is just a typo since I can see 14.04 in the readme.
Ok I've built a new 14.04 and rebuilt everything and the amber flashing has gone so that looks like it was a 14.10 problem, possibly triggered by the latest nvidia driver install since it didn't initially happen on upgrade.
